The OP is the most racist in this thread. I am so sick and tired of this argument, the Rooney rule, and affirmative action as a whole. There was a time and a place when these things were needed, and in some areas in the South maybe some parts of affirmative action still are.

However, being from the North East, I can say without hesitation that the majority of racism that remains around here is REVERSE racism. It's the whole attitude of well because of our past you owe us and we want more benefits from stuff our GREAT grandparents had to endure. Look, I'm Jewish, I don't hold any grudges against German people. This makes me sick and so angry.

These days the best man gets the job. How dare you state that more African American coaches need to be hired over more qualified Caucasians! How dare you! I love the point about the NBA. Fine, you want to make the NFL coached 50% African American, then fine I want the NBA players 50% Caucasian. Wonder which sport our racism will ruin first.

Better yet, let's stop being fricking racist and let the best players play, the best coaches coach, and leave the color of your skin at the door. Last time I checked we share the same water fountains and bathrooms...take your hate and the Rooney Rule and get the F out of here!

Totally agree. Why should it go to the best players?! HELL NO! RACISM!!! This is so RACIST we need at least 50% white RBs! Sorry Adrian Peterson we need to lay you off because more white people need to be RBs.

Man I sound so logical

2 out of the 8 coaches fired after the season were minorities. None of their 8 replacements were. The NFL continues to go in the wrong direction when it comes to minorities in head coaching (and assistant coaching) positions. Minorities make up appx. 60% of the NFL players yet they now hold just 3 of the 32 head coaching positions, less than 10%.

I think a great example of this is my Denver Broncos. In the last 2 years, both the Broncos DC and OC have been given a shot to lead teams and neither one had any previous experience or were exactly household names. Dennis Allen was hired as the Raiders coach last year and Mike McCoy was just hired to lead the Chargers. I'm not saying they didn't deserve their chance but it's an example of 2 white assistants that were chosen with no previous head coaching experience. By the way, the Broncos replaced both men with white coaches.

I think it would be awesome to see some kind of protest from not just minority players, but all players before the kickoff of Game 1 this year. Maybe just meet at midfield in solidarity to say to owners and GM's that we need more minorities in the coaching ranks, not less. The fact that the NFL is down to 3 AA head coaches is disgusting!

Maybe none of the minority candidates were qualified.

Oh wait we should hire them anyways to give the "appearance" of equality to satisfy some invisible quota.

Typical white bureaucrat. Race is idiotic and non-existent. The fact people still see in these terms is sad.
